I won't oppose since I don't use OpenRC anymore and therefore my |
| 11 |
opinion doesn't really matter here. However, I can't help but notice |
| 12 |
a particular trend since Roy left the project. I see that OpenRC is |
| 13 |
slowly regressing towards baselayout-1. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
First the oldnet thingie being made the default back. While I can |
| 16 |
understand why people wanted it so badly, this doesn't make this less |
| 17 |
of a carousel for Gentoo users. I mean, changing defaults with every |
| 18 |
maintainer change. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Then, functions.sh split. While itself good, I don't get what's |
| 21 |
the benefit of converting the bash script from baselayout-1 while |
| 22 |
a better one was provided with OpenRC. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Now removing the public API because you don't care. While it may have |
| 25 |
been unused indeed, it's simply crippling the thing, not making it more |
| 26 |
useful. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'd like to see some kind of plan behind all this. Because as far as I |
| 29 |
can see, it's just new maintainers slowly dropping all the new features |
| 30 |
they don't care about without any specific vision. No offense intended. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If OpenRC really wants to compete with systemd, it should at least have |
| 33 |
some design plan, and you really should start working on providing |
| 34 |
useful features rather than reverting, crippling and rewriting for |
| 35 |
the sake of changing things. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Just some material to think about. |
